Services

Termite Control

Our certified inspectors evaluate properties to implement Termidor-based treatments that eliminate existing termite colonies and prevent future infestations. We address moisture issues and structural vulnerabilities while providing comprehensive protection with over 2.5 million homes treated nationally. Our approach includes foundation crack repairs and drainage improvements to maintain termite-free environments. Clients receive detailed prevention guidance about mulch management and moisture control.

Mosquito Programs

We deliver seasonal mosquito reduction programs from April to September through property inspections and targeted treatments. Our technicians identify breeding areas and apply safe solutions that protect families and pets while preserving beneficial insects. Treatments focus on outdoor living spaces with methods that reduce mosquito populations by eliminating resting and breeding sites. Services include ongoing monitoring from spring through fall to maintain effective mosquito population control.

Bed Bug Services

Our specialized bed bug programs use non-fumigation methods that offer faster results and lower costs compared to heat treatments. We identify infestation sources through detailed inspections and implement targeted treatments for mattresses, furniture, and storage areas. The approach maintains property integrity by avoiding unnecessary item disposal while providing long-term prevention strategies. Clients receive specific recommendations for luggage handling and clothing management to prevent recurrence.

Home Inspections

We perform comprehensive pest inspections to identify current infestations and structural vulnerabilities during real estate transactions or routine maintenance. Our WDI reports examine for termite damage, carpenter ant activity, and other wood-destroying organisms while providing repair recommendations. Homeowners receive customized prevention plans addressing specific pest entry points and environmental factors. Inspections include written reports with actionable steps to maintain pest-free environments and protect property investments.

Rodent Proofing

Our rodent proofing services seal entry points using wire mesh, caulk, and weather stripping to prevent infestations. Technicians identify common entry points like foundation cracks and utility openings while addressing attic and basement vulnerabilities. Services include exclusion techniques that prevent re-entry combined with ongoing monitoring solutions. Clients receive specific recommendations for food storage and waste management to eliminate attractants and maintain rodent-free properties.

Mr. Simms, owner of Q Pest Control, is a consummate professional and probably one of the nicest people you'll meet. We've been satisfied customers for many years after he dealt with a termite infestation. We swear by the yearly inspections. Mr. Simms explains everything clearly and even recommends commonsense solutions to fix conditions that attract pests.

A rodent or pest problem happens to everyone. I've been a happy customer of Q for almost three years now I think. We started with them on a monthly plan to eliminate a rodent infestation. Once it was controlled, we moved to quarterly for maintenance. The crew has been extremely professional every visit. I don't know how they spend all day crawling around in basements and they still have a bright white, clean shirt on when they knock.

I've met three of the technicians now and all three have provided a clear explanation of our situation, what treatments have been done, and what to expect. Lyn in the office is courteous and professional when scheduling and arranging for payment.

Frank was an amazing resource in detailing our Termite treatment options and provided us with an affordable service. When him and his team was on-site, they were super nice, efficient, and made sure they went out of their way to explain everything clearly. I would definitely recommend them for your pest needs.

As someone who has owned a home with a termite infestation in the past, having an annual service contract with Q Pest Control gives me so much peace of mind! Termite prevention really a must for every homeowner here in Maryland. I've hired more than one company in the past for pest control but Frank with Q Pest Control has proved to be a real keeper. The inspections are thorough and Frank is highly knowledgeable and friendly. It's evident that he takes pride in doing good work and taking good care of his customers and their homes.

I have been using Q Pest Control for a few years now and I am always happy with their quick responses to requests and the knowledge of their service guys. Everyone one has been really nice to us, and I am very happy that they try to send the same service person each time. As for our pest issues, they have been resolved. I recommend their quarterly service, it is worth it's weight in gold!

Called Q Pest Control this morning after discovering an enormous wasps' nest above an exterior door. The owner of the company appeared within two hours and completely resolved our issue along with a few smaller ones discovered during a thorough inspection of the property. Super nice, very knowledgeable, efficient and professional. Frank, it was a pleasure doing business with you!
